Ibranyi sits in his room at the boarding house and feels he has gotten better since living at Joi's Angels boarding home and looks forward towards the future and getting his own place eventually. Christopher Ibranyi, 31, is now living at Joi's Angels boarding home and has entered a new state program of court-ordered mental health treatment. New Jersey is slowly implementing a controversial law that would order seriously mentally ill and potentially dangerous people to take medication, go to therapy or risk being committed to a psych hospital. The law was enacted because of cases in which untreated people killed themselves and others. Chris and his parents agreed to give this a try after he assaulted his dad. Monday January 28, 2013.
